Chapter 70: Fill the Throne

After Danhuang left, Qinghuang was a little tired, shook his wings and flew back to the inner room.

I sent Danhuang back, and found Qiu An coming to my door again, looking at me, as if searching for something in my face.

"The princess is tired, so let's rest for a while!"

Seeing that I didn't speak, and had no other instructions, Qiu An persuaded me to go back to my room.

I nodded, but I was a little relieved, and said to Qiu An: "You go back to rest first, you are tired for half a day, just wake me up before teaching in the afternoon." ”

Qiu An said "yes" and then turned around and went back to his room.

I stood by the window in my room, looking through the cracks in the courtyard at the ancient trees and the palace walls, but I didn't find anything.

I think Jing Kang would have left a long time ago, as long as he wasn't discovered.

At noon, I didn't rest, I lay on the bed and thought about the days outside the imperial city, and I felt a little bored in my heart, and I wanted to go out early to take a good look at the not boxy sky.

When Qiu An came to wake me up, I was ready, but when I looked at the hour, I found that it was still a little early, so I lay down on a wicker chair in the courtyard and basked in the sun.

The princesses and concubines of the other two courtyards of the Yong'an Palace have already packed up, and rushed to the main hall of the Hesui Palace with the maidservants, I closed my eyes and listened carefully to the difference in the footsteps, and distinguished which was Su Hanyan and which was condensation from the subtle speed and slowness.

"Let's go too!"

When their footsteps were getting farther and farther away, I was ready to get up and say a word to Qiu'an.

Although I don't want to go there first and rush to make a pick, I don't want to be the same as last time, and finally go there and become the target of public criticism.

Qiu An came to help me quickly, she knew my thoughts, no matter what I decided, she was willing to work with me.

Qiu An and I also quickened our pace to the main hall, not too early or late, before we reached the door, I watched Zhiman standing there waiting for me, and when he saw me coming, he smiled sweetly at me, like a tender white nine-mile incense, shining with the light of the big sun.

Zhiman didn't wait for me to come to me, nor did she meet me, seeing me coming safely, the stone in my heart fell to the ground, and she dodged and entered the main hall courtyard before me.

In the afternoon in the hall, Wu Gong first tested the taboo things about the palace sacrifice in the book that the spirit girls memorized before noon.

All the spirit maidens answered all the questions, but when I answered, Wu Gong's face was smiling.

The next free time was to learn the etiquette of the palace festival, because the spirit girls were extremely talented and learned quickly, and the witch lord let the women go back to their own place to rest very early.

After I returned to the Yong'an Palace, I had an early dinner, and I got used to eating these fasts in the past few days, and I began to feel delicious.

Qiu An prepared the hot water, and I didn't bother, and after taking a clear bath, I got dressed and sat on the corridor in front of the room, wiping my wet hair, and looking back and forth at the palace wall and doorway.

Occasionally, there was a light breeze in the courtyard, and my hair dried faster, but my body gradually felt cold.

Qiu An took a cloak and put it on my shoulders, and said to me, "It's cool at night, so the princess should rest early!"

In the middle of the courtyard on the moon, hanging on top of the ancient tree, the green phoenix still stayed on the tree, refusing to come down, and it was rare to be so quiet.

"You go to sleep first, I'm staying for a while, watching the moon in the Imperial City!" I said to Qiu An.

Qiu An didn't speak, and turned back to his room to rest.

On that day, on the mountain by the Qingshui River, Jing Kang once commented on the moon in the sky.

"I've seen it in Yaochi Wonderland, I've also seen it in Huangquan Biluoli, and now there is no illusion and ethereal in the world, looking at the moon, I feel that I have lived a life of flesh and blood. ”

The moon in the water palace is beautiful, the moon by the Qingshui River is beautiful, and in fact, the moon in this imperial city is also beautiful.

After waiting for a long time, but still no one came, I was a little disappointed, and I went back to the house and lay down, holding the black mucuna in my hand.

The night was silent, and there was no flute in the sky over the imperial city.

In the next few days, as usual, Wu Gong quickly taught us the etiquette of the palace sacrifice, and he instructed us: "I hope that the princess will go back and practice diligently, and when the time comes, there will be no way to give glory to all the tribes." ”

I haven't seen Jingkang during this time, and I don't know if he will find out the truth and clear up any misunderstanding about me.

After the palace sacrifice was completed, Emperor Pingyu led everyone to practice the Heavenly Spirit Dance.

Emperor Pingyu disappeared for a few days, and when Wu Gong finished practicing the palace sacrifice, he returned to Hesui Palace.

The Heavenly Spirit Dance is part of the palace sacrifice, and according to the rules, it is still a matter of the witch princess, but Lord Wu Gong gave full authority to the emperor, and he did not interfere, saving face for the Pingyu emperor.

But His Majesty's will is there, so Lord Wugong still occasionally comes to Hesui Palace to take a walk.

Emperor Pingyu invited the Si Le and the female official of the Si Dance in the palace to guide the spirit girls to practice the dance of the palace sacrifice, and she herself would do it, but because she was leading the dance in the field, she could not always observe the growth of the women.

Qiu An once told me that Emperor Pingyu has excellent dancing skills, but except for major events such as palace sacrifices, she never dances in front of people, and her real ability is no worse than Princess Bairong.

The Tianling Dance not only has requirements for the dancing skills of all women, but also pays attention to one heart.

When dancing, the emperor is naturally in the middle of the position, and her hands need to hold the incense steadily.

It is necessary to select two spirit girls, next to the emperor, and dance the dance footwork of the phoenix bird Tianzhai, and dance the green belt on the sleeves, which means that it will bring auspiciousness and health to the emperor.

When the Emperor of Japan set up a banquet, Emperor Pingyu and the female officials of the dance and music had seen the talents of the spirit women and selected Bai Rong and Princess Sanssouci.

According to the rules, the outermost seven women need to practice footwork according to the position of the burly seven stars, and no matter which spirit tribe the selected spirit girl comes from, the forehead needs to be painted with the spirit pattern of the beast girl, which is the dance of the beasts, in order to achieve a bumper harvest in the world.

Under the auspices of Emperor Ji, the female officials of Si Le and Si Wu carefully taught all the spirit girls, although they belonged to the same human world, but many positions in the imperial city were different from the names of our Jiao clan.

For example, the female official of this musician dance, our Jiao clan directly became a musician and dancer. Another example is the great witch called by our Jiao clan, which is called Lord Wugong in the imperial city.

Jiang Qianchen and Su Hanyan did not need to participate in the teaching of the Heavenly Spirit Dance according to the rules, but if they died, the Seven Daughters' Seven-Star Dance Formation would lack one person.

Jiang Qianchen has been quite prominent among the spirit maidens recently, she has been preparing for this matter for a long time, and the vacant seat among the nine maidens of the earth sacrifice is also determined to be obtained, so the emperor Ji picked her among the two without thinking.

In fact, Pianruo's position was not only the competition between Su Jiang and the two girls, but also in the days when Lord Wugong taught the girls to learn the palace sacrifice, news came from the Chao'an Palace that the daughter of the Baili family also wanted to participate in the earth sacrifice, but was rejected by the emperor.

In this way, the Baili family has become a laughing stock inside and outside the imperial city, and the women of the Hesui Palace are laughing in shame, but they all understand in their hearts that it is a great gift for the family of a daughter of the Baili Banyan to participate in the mountain and river festival before the emperor, but this can no longer satisfy the ambition of the Baili family.

I remember that when Condensation mentioned this in front of the women, everyone just laughed at Bailijia's daydreaming, and only Jiang Qianchen's eyes flashed a trace of viciousness.
